Chembarambakkam Lake, Freshwater reservoir in Chennai, India
The reservoir spans 3,800 acres with a capacity of 3,645 million cubic feet, supplying drinking water to Chennai through multiple distribution pipelines.
The lake construction dates back to the reign of Rajendra Chola I, when it was known as Puliyur Kottam during the later Chola period.
The reservoir area includes an ancient Shiva temple and Kanni Koil, reflecting the religious practices of Tamil Nadu's historical settlements.
Water levels and discharge rates receive constant monitoring, with officials adjusting release volumes based on inflow measurements and storage capacity.
The Adyar River originates from this reservoir, which has lost 40 percent of its water holding capacity due to sediment accumulation.
